Illegal Races - Accident with deceased children: Defendants express condolences

In the latest murder trial regarding an illegal racing incident resulting in the deaths of two children, the defendants apologized to the parents. "I'm sorry, I didn't want this to happen," the 41-year-old main defendant sobbed in the Hanover Regional Court. The father of the deceased children, as a co-defendant, responded: "That doesn't bring them back." His children would not be alive again with this. Looking at his wife, he added: "She suffers every day." The 41-year-old co-defendant admitted: "I share the blame for the deaths of the two children."

The Federal Court of Justice had largely overturned the previous judgment of the Regional Court due to legal errors. The main defendant had been sentenced to six years in prison, and the co-defendant to four years. Originally, both 41-year-olds were charged with murder or accessory to murder, but were convicted of illegal vehicle racing resulting in death.

According to the Regional Court's ruling in April of the previous year, the two 41-year-olds had provided an illegal race on a street in Barsinghausen in the Hannover area in February 2022. They were reportedly racing with their PS-strong cars at up to 180 kilometers per hour next to each other - the speed limit was 70. In a curve, the woman lost control of her car, causing a collision with oncoming vehicles. The family's car was thrown onto an acre, and the two and six-year-old boys strapped in the back seat died as a result.

1. The Higher Regional Court Hannover, located in Lower Saxony, Germany, will be handling the appeal of the murder trial related to the Hannover area illegal racecar incident.
